## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve top news headlines or articles for a specific topic or keyword from the web in real time, especially when integrating with an x402 micropayment-enabled workflow on Base chain. Prefer this over general web scraping endpoints when the explicit goal is news content aggregation.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query returns validation error
- Query yields no results — success true but data empty
- Network timeout reaching target news sources
- Payment failure via x402 on Base chain — 402 response returned
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded for the API key
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 error
